| The American Police State |
It’s beginning to look a lot like Russia
Ev’rywhere you go;
Take a look at the guys in blue, they’ve certainly noticed you
With latex hands and leering eyes aglow.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Deutschland
Stazi in ev’ry store
But the scariest sight to see is whose knocking that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hobnail boots and a pistol that shoots
Was the warning of General Ike;
Imaging nudes and feelin’ up dudes
Is the hope of Janet and Mike;
And Big Sis can hardly wait for planes to fall again.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Oceania
Ev’rywhere you’ll find;
There’s a camera in the hotel, one in the park as well,
Any one of you could be Goldstein.
It’s beginning to look like R3volution;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the freedom that you bring
Right within your heart.
